Due to the rapidly growing number of resistant strains of bacteria, the search for antibacterial agents with new modes of action will always remain an important and challenging task. Thus, the reaction of 2-substituted or. unsubstituted-4-(4-acetylanilino)-5,6,7,8-terahydrobenzo［b］ thieno［2,3-d］pyrimidine derivatives 1-3 with the hydrazine derivatives, semi and / or thiosemi-carbazides, provided the corresponding hydrazones 4-6 and semi and/or thiosemicarbazones 7-9. Claisen-Schmidt condensation of compounds 1 or 2 with the appropriate aldehyde yielded the chalcones 10, 11 which, when treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave rise to the isoxazoline-containing compounds 12, 13. Furthermore, reacting the respective chalcones 10, 11 with different hydrazines, urea and/or thiourea, furnished compounds 14, 15, 16, and 17 respectively. Representative compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Candida Albicans and certain gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Their MICs were then determined. Compound 15e, showed a broad spectrum of activity while most of the other com-pounds showed varying antimicrobial activity.

Racemic synthesis of novel 5',5'-difluoro-2'-methyl-apiose nucleoside phosphonic acid analogs was achieved as potent antiviral agents. Phosphonation was performed by direct displacement of triflate intermediate with diethyl (lithiodifluoromethyl) phosphonate to give the corresponding (${\alpha},{\alpha}$-difluoroalkyl) phosphonate. Condensation successfully proceeded from a glycosyl donor with persilylated bases to yield the nucleoside phosphonate analogs. Deprotection of diethyl phosphonates provided the target nucleoside analogs. An antiviral evaluation of the synthesized compounds against various viruses such as HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV revealed that the pyrimidine analogs (cytosine, uracil, and thymine) have weak anti-HIV or HCMV activity.

CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) is a prominent chemokine receptor on neutrophils. CXCR2 antagonist may reduce the neutrophil chemotaxis and alter the inflammatory response because the neutrophilic inflammation in the lung diseases is found to be largely regulated through CXCR2 receptor. Hence, in the present study, Topomer based Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (Topomer CoMFA) was performed on a series of CXCR2 antagonist named pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile-6-alkyl derivatives. The best Topomer COMFA model was obtained with significant cross-validated correlation coefficient ($q^2$ = 0.487) and non cross-validated correlation coefficients ($r^2$ = 0.980). The model was evaluated with six external test compounds and its $r^2{_{pred}}$ was found to be 0.616. The steric and electrostatic contribution map show that presence of bulkier and electropositive group around cyclopropyl ring may contribute more for improving the biological activities of these compounds. The generated Topomer CoMFA model could be helpful for future design of novel and structurally related CXCR2 antagonists.

Tautomerism of pyrimidine base cytosine has been comparatively examined on nanoparticle and roughened plate surfaces of silver, gold, and copper by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The SERS spectrum was found to be different depending on the metals and their substrate conditions suggesting the dissimilar population of various tautomers of cytosine on the surfaces. The ab initio calculations were performed at the levels of B3LYP, HF, and MP2 levels of theory with the LanL2DZ basis set to estimate the energetic stability of the tautomers with the metal complexes as well as the gas phase state. The amino group and N3-coordinated tautomer was predicted to be more favorable for bonding to Au, whereas the hydroxyl and N1-coordinated zwitter ionic form is most stable with Ag and Cu as a bidentate form from the DFT calculation. The binding energy with the Ag atom is calculated to be smaller than those with the Au and Cu atoms in line with the temperature-dependent SERS spectra of cytosine.

Naphthoquinone derivatives have been found to be anticoagulant. In this report, several new 2-chloro-3-(N-arylamino)-naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized in oder to develope mild anticoagulant. 2, 3-dichloro-1, 4-naphthoquinone was reacted with p-aminobenzoic acid, m-aminobenzoic acid, toluidine, m-nitroaniline, sulfanilamide, sulfathiazole, sulfaguanidine, phenetidine, 2-aminopyrimidine and 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole in EtOH or AcOH afford 2-chloro-3-(p-carboxy anilino)-naphthoquinone (1), 2-chloro-3-(m-carboxyanilino)-naphthoquinone (2),2-chloro-3-(toluidino)-naphthoquinone (3),2-chloro-3-(m-nitroanilino)-naphthoquinone (4), 2-chloro-3-(4-sulfanilanilino)-naphthoquinone (5), 2-chloro-3-(4-sulfathiazolino)-naphthoquinone (6),2-chloro-3-(4-sulfaguanidino)-naphthoquinone (7),2-chlro-3-(phenetidino)-naphthoquinone (8), 2-chloro-3-(pyrimidine-2-amino)-naphthoquinone (9) and 2-chloro-3-(5-methylisoxazole-3-amino)-naphthoquinone (10) in good yield.

A rapid and accurate method is described for the determination of nucleo-bases in rumen micro-organisms. A procedure to satisfactorily hydrolyse the micro-organisms involving reaction with a mixture of readily volatile organic acids (acetic and formic acids) under high pressure, is proposed, and optimal conditions for an analytical procedure with reversed phase HPLC is described. The following nucleobases contents (mmol/kg DM) of rumen micro-organisms were found: Adenine (Ade), 82.62; Guanine (Gua), 61.34; Cytosine (Cyt), 84.61; Thymine (Thy), 35.74; Uracil (Ura), 68.62; Hypoxanthine (Hxn), 13.06; Xanthine (Xn), 8.35. Total purine-N content (g/kg N) of rumen micro-organisms were 99.60. The nucleic acid N content (g/kg N) of microbial isolates were: RNA-N, 109.9; DNA-N, 50.9.

The systematic chirality investigations were made on the basic of the fact that zinc-binding tallysomycin (ZnTLMA) could have chiral centers (Zn, NC3, C6) at possible 4-, 5-, and 6-coordination models. Although our NMR data exhibit that the ligation sites are ${\beta}$-aminoalanine, ${\beta}$-hydroxyhistidine, and pyrimidine moiety, all possible coordination modes were tested out to see what kind of chiralities on NC3-C6 are favorable to each coordination mode. Tests were also made that take into account the specific configuration of functional groups, including ${\beta}$-aminoalanine, sugar ring, and ${\beta}$-hydroxyhistidine. Tests were finally extended to zinc-water binding and specific conformational studies by introducing various hydrogen bonding networks associated with the propionamide side chain and the carbamide group of mannose. Results of systematic chirality investigations exhibit that the S-S configuration of NC3-C6 is favorable to all of coordination models, but the R-S configuration, if exists at all, should have internal strain on C6 chiral center.

방사선, 자외선, 화학물질 등 여러 변이원에 의해 생긴 DNA 손상의 대부분은 생체내에 존재하는 효소들에 의해 수복(repair)되어 DNA는 안정하게 유지된다. T$_4$ phage 유래의 T$_4$ endonuclease V는 자외선에 의해 DNA에 pyrimidine dimer가 생겼을때 이것을 특이적으로 절제 수복하는 효소이다. 인간의 질환인 색소성 걸피증(Xeroderma pigmentosum)은 태양광선, 특히 자외선에 의해 고빈도로 피부암을 발생한다. 이 질환은 유전적으로 DNA 수복기구에 장애가 있기 때문에 일어난다. 색소성 건피증의 배양세포에 T$_4$ endonuclease V를 도입하면 세포의 DNA 수복능력이 회복되기 때문에 인간과 phage라는 서로 멀리 떨어진 생물종에 공통의 DNA 수복기구가 존재하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.
